Dawn of War - Winter Assault (A Working Way No CD)

[PRETORIAN GENERAL]

do you want to play the game or you want to share your ideas about CAPS

[DABhand]

Was curious if the guy had a mini-image or the full image.

Im guessing you have both correct?

Pretorian, I just tried that in Alcohol 120% and it didn't work.

I get the same 'cd not found or authonticated' message. Are there any options that should be enabled?

EDIT: And I'm not even going to bother with antiblaxx, from what I've heard it royally screws over your cd drives...

[Comothinon]

I've had no problems with Anti-Blaxx. I'm guessing that the people who's system it messed with probably used the Delete Entries method instead of the Hide Entries method. Anti-Blaxx states quite prominantly that the Delete method is 'more dangerous'.

Or maybe I'm just using it wrong. =P

[caki]

Yeah, but by default it deletes the entries when you start it up. Go figure

[Pulsar]

Hang on, if I was to create a system restore point, and if AntiBlaxx did any damage, would the restore point fix it?

EDIT: Well, everything seems to be fine. I chose the 'hide' option. I checked device manager and my cd drive is still there, as well as it being in 'my computer'.

Still a bit wary though...

Hi all!

For two days I've tried in vain all possible NO-CD solutins described here. I've mounted two different mini-images on a numerous CD emulating software. Have delited and renamed CD check.exe etc. etc. tec, but nothing worked.

Yesterday I decided to try one more time.... AND IT WORKED! Even more, I think I know what was causing it.

When the game lounched my firewall software went up asking if it should allow W40K:WA to connect to internet. Naturally I've pressed no. It totally makes sense, because Doom 3 expansion had similar protection.

I'm not sure it it is _The One_ solution for problems that lot of you are having, but certainly it is woth to try. If you don't have firewall, just disable or plug out network connection.

Hope that helps someone!

I found this "no-cd crack" on w w w . g a m e b u r n w o r l d . c o m. Because it's not a normal no-cd crack here a part of the readme:

"INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

This program is used to run Dawn of War: Winter Assault using the standard
Dawn of War CD - or no CD at all if you have that cracked/mounted/GameJacked!

Simply run the exe and change the config so you can run Winter Assault as a mod from within
Dawn of War. You won't be able to log on to the lobby, but single player works, as does an online game if
you direct host/join and EVERYONE ELSE playing also uses WA_ModMan.exe.

Run WA_ModMan again to restore Winter assault to normal"


I uploaded it to GCW.
